Let’s see those home office desks

[yuppie]

Okay I see some Yamaha HS speakers, an RME desktop DAC (?), but then I'm lost..spill it lol

Yep. HS80M's, RME ADI 2, Audeze LCD-X headphones, mechanical keyboard (custom), Logitec MX Master3 mouse, Belkin Thunderbolt dock, MacbookPro, Custom Gaming PC with external radiator, fully liquid cooled, pretty wild rig actually. Work and gaming, all in one place. I really need to clean up the wiring but I always put that off until later.

Looks like a nice podcast mic.

Blue Yeti mic, not as good as the Shure SM7B, but it's a third of the price. If I was doing podcasts, I'd get the Shure and a CloudLifter.

What games do you play

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Dual curved 34” monitors, Bose speakers…
Running a Surface laptop, and when I am on the road, I bring that stand and keyboard with me.
Desk is electric and goes from sitting to standing mode with a push of a button.

Bought the tool box on FB Mkpl, which matchs my desk for the most part. That thing stores all my shit.

The sit to stand desk is crucial. I went budget and bought a sitting only desk for my current office and wish I would have spent the extra money to have the standing option.

Both my wife and I work from home.
Wife has a 75/25 schedule (one week a month in office).
I have been WTH since 2014, unless I am traveling to customers (usually 8 nights a month). Just submitted the home office upgrade request at work. Should be getting $2500 to upgrade furniture and new monitors within the next month.

Since we both spend 75% of our time on calls, we have separate work locations in the house.
Wife has a corner downstairs, I have a full office upstairs.

Nice setup.

I use a much cheaper iFi Zen 2 DAC, but it still renders full MQA. Fed into my oldschool late 80's stereo, powered by a Yamaha MX600 I scored from Rivermobster, pumping a respectable 360watts per channel at 4ohms, 4 studio monitors/3 subs.

Computer is an older but powerful Dell T7500 workstation, twin Xeon 3.33 processors, 48GB RAM. I got tired of having to charge my MX Master3 mouse and ditched it for the older hyperscroll Logitech mouse with a 3-month battery life. I work with lengthy documents and the hyperscroll wheel is a lifesaver.

I also use an EagleTec mechanical keyboard with the Cherry MX Blue switches for speed/audible clicks...just like the old keyboards from the early 90's. It sounds like a machine gun when I'm on a roll, lol. The lighted, aluminum keyboard is steal at $30 on Amazon.

What games do you play

Escape from Tarkov, BattleBit, Factorio, League, Dwarf Fortress, Dragons Dogma 2, Dark Souls / Elden Ring, etc. Really looking forward to the new GTA VI coming out in the next few years. Manor Lords is a newer medieval game coming out very soon. Not so much CoD anymore, but that used to be fun.

iFi audio is great. My speakers have a weird buzz to them right now and I'm getting some different XLR cables from March Audio to see if that kills it. Older audio equipment is usually always better than the stuff they make these days.

I got into custom keyboards a few years ago and just started collecting. I think I kept about 5 that are just perfect:

-- geekhack.org and reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards are good resources to dive into the custom scene.

If you're looking to upgrade that PC, now is the time. The newer AMD Ryzen chips, DDR5 RAM, RTX 3090Ti level GPUs are all easy to be had right now.

I've been leaning toward the SFFPC (Small Form Factor PC) aesthetic, you can really pack some power into a very small footprint with liquid cooling:

Here’s mine.
1882 Roll Top that’s been in the family since the 60’s.
My Dad bought it from Bing Crosby when he was selling off stuff out of his house in Rancho Santa Fe.
He had it totally restored. They had it in the garage and used it to mix paint on!

a real desk not some trendy fucking matrix wannabe

Nice mics on the desks, you do podcasting or broadcasting?

Lol, the T7500 is a bit larger at 23" tall and 55lbs, seen here next to a T5500 - which I also have for the wifey, single Xeon, 24GB RAM. During the winter I don't need to heat my office because the T7500 throws off plenty of heat lol

There was a time I did some podcasts. I created a podcast called “Sales People”. It’s on all the usual spots. We interviewed sales people and senior sales leaders. We completed two seasons of it of 13 episodes each.

The number of episodes in a season were symbolic of the number of weeks in a quarter. I’ve been used to working on a quarterly quota my whole career.
